When it comes to doing the right thing at the right time for the right purpose to the right extent with the right people, most of us do flounder on expected occasions.
While commuting from my home to my office in the 147 bus, a bike driver fell down on applying sudden brakes for not being able to adjust himself on sudden change in traffic colour lights to Red. He was struggling to get up. Just then an auto driver beside to him got down down from his vehicle, helped the bike rider get up, asked whether he is fine and then came back to his driver seat.
Exactly at that moment, as though God was operating the traffic signals, it turned green. Everyone left the scene and very few would have seen the instant act of nobleness.
Such acts of helping and caring for an unknown person is what makes me think that brotherhood is still there around us which helps us feel good about ourselves being a part of this beautiful world - sometimes it is evident and sometimes it is not.

Truly said. It is those small acts of kindness that reminds us of humanity. And I am glad it exists and is actually coming back to normal slowly. There was a time when an ambulance stuck in traffic would never make it to the hospital on time. But these day, you can see the traffic opening up in the front to allow it to go through. It doesn't take long for us to help a fellow human on the road. We just need to slow our racing mind at that time and do what's necessary.
